Resolving properties

XL Deploy resolves properties in the same way that it does for the initial deployment of the application. This means that if you manually set a value for a deployed property during a deployment, that value will not be preserved when you update the deployed application. This also means that if the property has a default value, the default value will be used when you update the deployed application, even if you overrode the default during the previous deployment.

XL Deploy includes several features to help you avoid manually setting property values on deployeds:

Store the values in dictionaries and use placeholders in deployed properties
